Notes for Wilson T. “Bill” & Elizabeth “Betty” (Family)
Wilson T. Ferguson fathered two children by his sister-in-law, Elizabeth Sisson. The children were not officially acknowledged, nor did Elizabeth reveal the name of the father. The discovery was made by conducting a DNA test of male line descendents of Wilson’s son George by Sarah, and male line descendents of Timothy Sisson, son of Elizabeth. The results were a 12 for 12 match.
